I just saw this episode, and I remembered a book I read when I was a kid. The book was a collection of strange but true news stories. I was able to remember enough from the book to dig up this: http://www.starch.dk/isi/kroyer/donald2.htm

Pardon me please I have a fashion question. Where can I buy that skirt that Kari is wearing on the “balloon Lift” episode. This is important! I would sew one if I could see a clip of the episode to get a better look. Anyone have any ideas or is everything always about engineering.Thanks

Why don’t you show how Mythbusters would stop the
flow from an underwater broken pipe.
Depth is irrelevant.
Use skuba gear to mimic the robots.
Trim the pipe to size using an air or hydraulic saw or better still oxy, that can’t get stuck.
Push a clamp sleeve over the pipe with a valve on it, then close valve.You don’t need huge pressure in the leaking pipe as the exercise is simply to demonstrate the principle.

Why does the epp show a Seagate truck delivering the ping pong balls. Does a company that makes ping pong balls also go by the name of Seagate? For anyone who doesn’t know why that’s odd Seagate make computer hard drives

@ubxp
The Seagate truck belongs to M5 indutstries, Jamie probably bought it second hand. I don’t think that Seagate itself is involved with the show. However, it is strange that they don’t blur it in post-prodcution…

My son would like to watch “A 4 year old child can be lifted by a bunch of party balloons”. But unfortunately the MythBusters DVDs are organized into “collections”, not by season. Is there a cross-reference between episodes and collections? Is this episode available on DVD?
